be on the same page from the first interview with cbs and 60 minutes where he started distancing himself saying i got my own plan, to what you just played last night where he goes well, our plans are pretty much the same. you cannot start this argument. again, i agree with bob, this national debate on substance where you're showing that well, maybe we haven't worked out exactly what the substance is. >> whatever your politics watching the show now, you want to know what these guys are going to do if they get in there. we know what obama's going to do. so the question is what is romney going to do. when you get married with somebody, the person with the strongest convictions on something like going to church or where you live, how to raise the kids, tends to get the other hand because the other person in the marriage says okay, you really care about this thing, i'm going to let you have it. mitt romney is wishy washy. you called him multiple choice once on abortion rights. if ryan's on the ticket because of his conviction, why would you throw the conviction off the train? you would throw
